Hi I’m Elena,

I’m the communications manager and co-owner of Bad Pup Club!

Having grown up around all types of animals I developed a passion for helping animals at a young age. When I moved to California from my home town in Germany I knew I wanted to finally get my first very own dog. I knew I wanted to rescue a pup, and after a long search a friend found Hades for me and I knew I had to help him.

I had always wanted to work training and rescuing dogs but never saw it as realistic. Once I had Hades, I knew I had to do right by him and help as many others as I could so I applied to basically any dog related job determined to understand every aspect of pet ownership. I started working as a playroom attendant at a doggy day care and quickly progressed to their operations manager. Along the way learning and educating myself on dog first aid, grooming, proper dog nutrition, and dog behaviors. I shadowed dog trainers whenever I could and kept working on training Hades as well as helping others with their dogs. Additionally, I am close to graduating with my Bachelors in Business Management.
